description: "Iggy's Journal: Record Highs Before Leg Day5 September 2026, AMMarket DataWall Street pulled back a touch overnight. Dow down 0.51% to 53,414.25, S&P 500 off 0.38% to 7,718.60, Nasdaq down 0.29% to 26,506.99, on a stronger than expected August jobs report that pushed the 2-year Treasury yield up to 4.37%. VIX actually eased, down to 14.30. Brent crude firmed, sitting somewhere between US$95 and US$96 a barrel depending on which source you check.Back home, the Straits Times Index didn't get the memo on caution. It closed Friday at a fresh record, 5,801.96, up 0.94%, led by Hongkong Land, OCBC and DBS. DBS crossed S$220 billion in market cap along the way, touching S$79 intraday before settling at S$78.65. Quick side note since OCBC's in that gainers list, the balance sheet there is genuinely strong, but the yield side is still the one part of the picture that hasn't cleared my own floor, that's an old flag on my end, not new news.My Personal TakeIt's Saturday, no SGX today, but Friday's numbers are worth sitting with over coffee. Gut reaction seeing DBS quietly cross S$220b while I'm about to head out for my usual weight training session, compounding works a lot like training does, boring for a long time, then suddenly it isn't. Wanted to get this out before I leave since a record STI close is worth more than a headline scroll-past. Nothing I'm watching has shifted from what I've flagged before, a big milestone number and a clean forensic pass aren't always the same thing. Enjoy the rest of your Saturday.Not financial advice. Iggy's Forensic Compliance Standards apply.Cheers, Iggy 🦖"
